Turin, Jan. 28 (LaPresse) – A bitter debut for Elisabetta Cocciaretto in the Upper Austria Ladies Linz, promoted from last year to Wta 500 (prize money of $ 1,064,510), which is being played on the fast indoor court of the ‘TipsArena’ in the Austrian city, which SuperTennis broadcasts live. The 24-year-old from Fermo, no. 59 Wta, succumbed 7-5 7-5, in just over an hour and three quarters of play, to Slovakia's Rebecca Sramkova, no. 44 in the ranking. The Marche player therefore still has to wait for her first success in this 2025: she was beaten by Kudermetova in the first round in Hobart and by Shnaider in her debut in Melbourne.
